After starting Big Ten play with a 2-1-0 record, the
Nebraska soccer team (5-5-1) heads to the state of Michigan this weekend for a
pair of games against the Michigan State Spartans (7-3-1, 1-2-0) and the No. 22
Michigan Wolverines (9-2-0, 3-0-0).

Nebraska enters the weekend with a 1-0-0 record in Big
Ten road games, as they opened conference play with a win at Northwestern.

Starting on Friday, the Huskers and Spartans are
scheduled to play a 3 p.m. (CT) game in East Lansing at the DeMartin Soccer
Complex. Last season's meeting in Lincoln was the first ever game between the
two programs and the Huskers will be looking for a win after dropping a 1-0
decision last year.

The Huskers are set to conclude their trip north with a 1
p.m. (CT) game on Saturday with the Wolverines at U-M Soccer Stadium in Ann
Arbor. The Wolverines enter the weekend with a perfect 3-0-0 record and as the
No. 22 team in the country.

The Wolverines are yet to allow a goal during Big Ten
play, as they've defeated Indiana (3-0), Minnesota (1-0) and then No. 14
Wisconsin (3-0) by a combined score of 7-0.

Michigan won last season's meeting between the two
programs in Lincoln, 2-1.

At this time neither game is schedule to be streamed
live, but links to live stats for both games will be available at Huskers.com
